Being given an assignment to assist royalty hadn’t been high on Drake or Volos’s list of things to do. Finding out the royalty they are protecting happens to be their mate makes the assignment a lot more interesting. Azure Bloom isn’t anything like they’d expected, she’s a whole lot more in every way.

Her race has stayed hidden for centuries. Azure Bloom knows that now is the time to change that. Her abilities are needed to protect the Races from a threat no one knows exists. It won’t be easy, it takes so much out of her each time, but it has to be done in order to protect everyone.

Nerves will be tested, patience worn thin, and a love between mates forged as they do what they must. Azure must rely upon her mates, her warriors, if they are all to survive the coming days. A storm is brewing on the horizon, one that will push all their limits in the days to come.

Review

Azure’s
Warriors by Honor James is
fifth in the Beyond the Veil
series.This story is best read in
chronological order.With Azure Ms. James threw in another wrinkle in this series; people
learn who and what she is only to forget that knowledge.And unfortunately that is the case for one of
her mates.How can there be equality if
your “otherness” is known by two-thirds of the mating.I think Ms. James handled
it well.There was respect between Drake
and Volos which made something that could have caused major issues bea
non-issue.I love that each mating
begins and ends with respect between the partners.It makes issues that could destroy a
relationship all just background noise.I love that Ms. James starts with that
premise so that it feels real and natural as partners who share a female are
able to focus on being what their female partner needs.Azure has issues that are different than any
other prior but Drake and Volos handle them with aplomb.I love that Ms. James
didn’t make it super easy.Volos
appreciated that he had a mate but he struggled to accept Azure’s connection to
the dead.I love that Azure gave him the
space and time needed while Volos communicated his discomfort without being
disrespectful to the female meant to be his.I adored watching this trio find their footing even as they added to their
family and provided closure for other families.

I thought Ms. James gave us a unique story in Azure and her
mating.It was well written and added
yet another layer to this series.Ms. James continues to whet my appetite to learn more
as the others and humans deal with the consequences of the falling of the veil.
